The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) acknowledges that the first six to 12 months of post-release status are crucial for a releasing individual’s success back in the community. Because public safety is the statutory mission for the agency, and because successful community reentry for individuals leads to safer communities, the Department of Corrections focuses on such prosocial activities as employment, housing, and family connections for those releasing from incarceration. Successful planning for eventual release begins far in advance from the actual date of release and the Department is intent on providing the needed tools to be successful.

Work Releases

Work release facilities serve as a bridge between life in prison and life in the community. Offenders at work release focus on transition, to include finding and retaining employment, re–connecting with family members, and becoming productive members of the community. They learn and refine social and living skills such as riding the bus, going to the grocery store, and managing their personal finances – all while under supervision. Work release is an opportunity for self–improvement, while assisting offenders in creating a safe and productive lifestyle that can be sustained upon release.

Value of Work Release Programs

Offenders who complete the work release program are more likely to be successful in maintaining employment, stable housing, and in paying legal financial obligations. Additionally, recent research conducted by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy indicates that work release programs have a positive cost⁄benefit impact; in fact, for every dollar spent, $3.82 is returned to the state.

Program Eligibility

An offender with six months left to serve may be eligible to spend those last months in a work release facility, if specific criteria are met. For example, an offender must have a record of good behavior. Additionally, there must be available bed space at a work release facility.

Program Expectations

Offenders in work release facilities must follow all program rules. They must search for and⁄or retain employment and will be monitored to ensure compliance. Frequent testing for substance abuse will be administered. Offenders may only leave the facility for work or other specific activities, such as appointments, treatment, shopping, or outings to visit family.

Covid Visitation Information

The Washington State Department of Corrections takes the health and safety of our staff and incarcerated individuals very seriously. At the same time, Corrections recognizes the importance of family visitation, programming, and other opportunities provided to our incarcerated population per our mission of improving public safety by positively changing lives.

Consistent with DOH guidelines, Corrections is working to implement enhanced screening protocols for all employees/contract staff, incarcerated individuals and others entering DOC facilities and field offices to include taking temperatures and answering screening questionnaires.

Until the Department is able to put those protocols into place, we are taking the following actions effective March 13:

  • Suspending visitation at all correctional facilities in Washington, including extended family visits (EFV). Corrections has authorized reimbursement for families scheduled for EFVs;
  • Restricting access for all individuals, with the exception of employees/contract staff and legal professionals, to the Monroe Correctional Complex, Washington Corrections Center and Washington Corrections Center for Women; and
  • Suspending all tours and events involving four or more outside guests at all facilities.

This situation is constantly evolving. Corrections will provide updates as things changes.
